South Carolina February 8, 1779 $90 PCGS Apparent Extremely Fine
45.
One of the more popular Colonial notes that seldom surface at
auction, especially higher-grade examples like the one offered
here. The back vignette of Hercules wrestling a lion is amongst the
more interesting motifs seen on Colonial notes and offers a glimpse
into the genius of its creator, Robert Coram, a master engraver of
the American colonial era. This example features very crisp paper
and bold inking on both face and back. There is a small edge split
at the top-center margin which accounts for the 'apparent'
designation.
